Trailer Valet Trailer Jack - STC-V211

Heavy-duty jack with integrated drive function replaces your ordinary trailer jack and takes the hassle out of hooking up and moving your trailer. Simply turn the crank that powers the drive system and direct your trailer with the steering handle.

When the time comes to move or align your unhitched trailer, the Trailer Valet is at your service. Instead of driving your vehicle to your trailer, use this heavy-duty jack to drive your trailer to your hitch. This saves you the time and frustration of having to repeatedly back up your vehicle to align the hitch ball with your trailer's coupler.

The Trailer Valet also makes it easy to park or move your trailer into tight spots and to position it in a garage. And it allows you to take corners and make slight adjustments in steering while the trailer is moving. No more attempting to back the trailer in with your vehicle.

After hookup, just flip the Trailer Valet up to store it alongside your trailer frame. Then swivel it back down for use when you arrive at your destination. Simply use the jack function to raise the trailer so you can unhook it from the ball, then lower the Trailer Valet to get your trailer level and into position.

How to Operate the Trailer Valet

The jack crank raises and lowers the trailer tongue.

The hand crank powers the chain drive system and can be positioned on either side of the unit in either high or low gear.

The steering handle allows you to navigate the trailer to exactly where you want it.

The gears allow you to switch the hand crank to adjust for inclined and flat ground.

The Trailer Valet is easy to operate. The hand-crank-powered chain drive system can be operated in either high gear or low gear, depending on the terrain. The drive system activates the dual positraction wheels. Both wheels are engaged while the Trailer Valet is moving straight - in either forward or reverse. When you need to make a turn, one of the wheels disengages and freewheels, allowing the other wheel to move the trailer. All you have to do is turn the crank that powers the drive system and direct the Trailer Valet with the steering handle. When you straighten the steering handle back up, the other wheel reengages and the Trailer Valet drives straight again.

The Trailer Valet also includes an auto-brake function that acts as a wheel chock to keep your trailer in place. When the steering handle is raised up, the drive system is engaged. The handle automatically falls down when it is released, bringing the wheels to an immediate halt. This safety feature prevents your trailer from running away from you. The handle also locks when down, keeping your trailer level and secure for storage. Wheel chocks should still be used.

How to Install the Trailer Valet

A heavy-duty bracket clamps the jack to your trailer's tongue with the included mounting hardware. Multiple holes in the bracket allow you to adjust for trailer frames up to 6 inches tall, and the bolts are long enough to accommodate frames up to 2-3/4 inches wide. Just tighten the bolts and you're ready to use the Trailer Valet.

I attached the Trailer Valet to my 3326 dual wheel TrailManor Travel trailer and am plesantly suprised with the trailer mover. It bolted to the fram easily enough and easily moves the trailer in tight places. The short toungue on the travel trailer meant that it had to be mounted slightly to one side but it still works fine.
Due to it being off center the inside wheek carried a larger amount of weight and I noticed that the valve cap was scraped off as the wheel rotated around in the wheel well on the inside wheel but it only damaged the plastic valve stem cover and scraped some of the threads on the valve stem.
The brake on the steering mechanism worked well and held the trailer firmly as putting the trailer in the garage was a tight space with only about a foot of clearance between the two sides. Manuverint the trailer was easy band the brake on the steering extension allowed me to check the clearance on both sides frequently without worying about the trailer rolling back down the driveway.
There is a inch and a half ridge across the front of the garage and by placing a 1/2 inch board in front of a 1 inch board the trailer mover had plenty of power in the low gear to get the trailer over the ridge.
I tried both moving gears and the high speed gear moves the trailer much faster but I would only consider using it if the trailer was on flat pavement. It takes much more effort to move and control the trailer in the high gear. My trailer weights about 4,000 pounds. A lighter trailer would probably be O.K. to move with the faster gear.
I discovered that I will probably have to remove the bolt holding the mover to the ataching base when I pull the trailer because the wheel on the trailer mover hangs down about 2 inches too low for the equalizing hitch spring bar to move freely while the trailer is being towed. The hitch pin used in the mounting bracket to secure the mover should hold the mover securily when using the mover. The Trailer Valet can be stored in the vehicle when it is not needed or it can be left at home when the trailer is being used and re-attached when the trailer needs to be stored again. There is an electric tounge jack that came with my trailer so when the trailer Valet is attached to the trailer there are two tongue jacks available for lifting the tongue off of the tow vehicle.
The Trailer Valet has a good toung jack built into it but with a few modifications it could be made to attach to the tougue jack on a travel trailer and some of the hardware in the mountin bracket could be eleminated. Most toungue jacks allow for the attachment of different wheels or pads on the bottom of the jack that are attached with the same hinge pin that is used to hold the jack in position when the trailer is being pulled. By modifying the mover it could eleminate the mounting bracket and the tongue jack.
I am pleased with the Trailer Valet so far and would recommend it to others needing a trailer mover to park a trailer in a tight space.
One should note about the trailer mover is that it is only for use on hard serfaces. People who are wanting to use it on grass or gravel will have to use plywood ot something to get traction for the mover on lose surfaces.

Excellent service. Fine product for my application. During shopping for a trailer dolly, the detail provided by e-Trailer folks on the dimensions of fit and the answers to similar questions I held made the sale.
I have a 5% slope from the street to my spare garage bay and a very tight fit for a new Jayco Series 1007 popup just purchased. I over estimated my backing skills and found the approach too tight for backing in. The neighbors were pleased to help push first time in. But something else was needed to avoid bailing out on the garage for commercial storage to keep my good neighbors down the road and the garage structure intact.
The Trailer Valet was easy to install. Instructions were just fine. E-trailer's video and other picture data helped as well. Recommend that a beefy buddy assist just because of the product's bulk. I did it alone but used a large flower pot and blocks to hold it in place while bolting. I did need to substitute smaller bolts robbed from my junk bin to fit my unit's tongue beam size. But not a large matter. Could have made the bolts furnished do with washer shims.
First solo trial out of the garage was easy compared to the three-man show required to enter. I did have a little struggle getting over a one-inch bump into the garage but a second try with a little momentum made it just fine.
The Valet has saved me finding expensive commercial storage.

I recently purchased a dual axle 16 foot trailer to haul 2 quads and 4 dirt bikes. My hope was that the trailer will be stored in my backyard without paying storage fees at some storage lot. Unfortunately, my alley is quite narrow, my gate is not too wide, my backyard is grass, and there is a hill down to where I need to store the trailer. Trying to drag the trailer with a quad was scary at best. There is no way that I can drag the trailer around with some powerless trailer dolly at my age. The Trailer Valet came to the rescue!
Installation was fairly quick and simple. I did follow the directions and placed the mounting bracket low on the trailer tongue and the mount clamp connector on it low as well. I did make a quick trip to the neighborhood hardware store for proper length bolts and nylon lock nuts. The provided bolts were too long for my specific needs. They should be fine for a full size RV trailer.
The high gear is good for going downhill. The automatic brake works well as I soon found out. The low gear gets the trailer back up and out of the yard, even over grass. I did have to crank the trailer tongue up higher to get better traction in the grass, but was expected with a dual axle.
Simply put, there is no way that I could get that trailer in and out of my backyard in a safe and easy manner without the Trailer Valet. I do the job all by myself, and I did not spend a pile more for some powered unit to do the job. I will be getting another mounting bracket to use the Trailer Valet on my RV Trailer. In my opinion, there is no better solution at that price level.

I received the Trailer Valet in a timely manner. I was surprised at the size if the box. I thought "holy mackerel", how big is this thing? After taking the Valet from the box, I was very impressed with the obvious quality of the item and was excited and wanted to install it immediately. In my mind, before I received the Valet, I figured I would have to make some special attachments to accommodate the Valet. I was pleasantly pleased that the Valet bolted right to the frame of my boat trailer.
The Valet is perfect for my situation as I have a very tight drive way. I can't just hook up the boat and leave. I have to move the boat and trailer with a hand dolly to get it in position to connect to my truck. This takes a lot of physical strength pushing and pulling. I am 74 years of age and it becomes harder each time I take the boat out to fish.
Naturally I had to try the Valet to see how it worked. Wow, it moved my boat and trailer so easily that I had to call my wife to come and see how little effort it took to move the boat and trailer.
The Valet is just what I needed to move the boat. Now I will be able to turn the boat and trailer around to a position in the drive way so t I can hook up to my pickup and pull straight out of my drive way. Before it took a great deal of effort to turn the boat around in my drive way and was very dangerous in as much as the drive way slopes down to a steep angle. The Valet will allow a safer method of moving my boat and trailer because of the brake feature that comes with the product.
This is a great product that is priced right and allows me to move my boat and trailer with out the help of my wife. in a safe manner with much less effort. "Life is Good"!!!

I bought this to help make it easier to put my boat into the corner of the driveway where we keep it and get it out. My driveway is black top in fair condition, with an incline. The boat is a 23' and with the trailer is probably about 500 lbs and a tandem axle, so right at the limits of what this is rated for.
The unit itself is beefy and appears to be of decent quality. The box was damaged, but there was no damage to the unit itself. I had to buy slightly longer bolts to make it work with my trailer (3" frame). Even with this heavy trailer, steering is decent, and the brake function works well. However, traction is a concern. It does not have the traction to pull the trailer up the hill at all, and can only move it to a limited extend sidways, although that has more to do with the tandem axles than anything. The gearing does make it slow to move, I could see using an attachment for a drill/electric drive would make its use significantly easier.
Despite my trailer being on the high end of what should work with it, it still does a pretty decent job. If it was able to do everything I need it to, I'd rate it at 5 stars, but I rate it at 4 since it does most of it. If the boat trailer was empty or I had a single axle trailer, I think this would be perfect.

I have a tandem axle boat trailer with a 21 boat. I have a need to swing the trailer to the side to line it up with the space next to the garage. Your comments about limited sideways movement are a concern to me. I have been pushing it but am getting to the age that it is very difficult to do and need something that can do it. My boat and trailer weigh about 3500 pounds. How much does yours weigh. This is my only concern about this product.

Awful, Don't touch this! To lift and lower jack takes a lot of force. Called company and they said if it had been insalled I was stuck with it. SAD! Most jacks will at least lower ok, this one wont even crank down resonable! Now what do I tell the kids about the Fathers Day present they got me?

I have the same problem Bill. The jack on this thing is junk. The rest of it has been working well. I replaced the jack with a good Atwood 5K jack and it is fine. These guys went the cheap route on the jack. I think it probably works great on boat trailers where the tongue weight is relatively low, but you get much above 300lbs tongue weight and the jack is out of its league.I would not recommend this product.

I wish I would have read your review! IT IS JUNK AT BEST !I brought this into work the day after I installed it, It failed almost immediately. Anyway we have 3 Mechanical Engineers. They laughed out loud when we took it apart! I WASNT LAUGHING!We fixed several simple design flaws. I however can help you! FREE INFORMATION!They plated the jack screw! really stupid!!!!You can take it apart and clean out all of the plating, then grease the heck out of it!You will need to do this every month until all the plating is removed.My tongue weight is only 200 lbs, and it couldnt jack it up or down!!!!!!!!!!!!Grease helped it out, there is lots of other stupid stupid stupid mistakes that you can fix for under 10 dollars at your local hardware store.

We have greatly improved the jack on the newest generation of Trailer Valets by widening the pitch on the acme thread and adding more lubricant to the inner walls which makes it easier to raise and lower your trailer. We are now also using a thicker gauge steel for the outer casing of the jack, which minimizes the play on the device while moving your trailer, and strengthens the device.

I absolutely LOVE the trailer jack. At my age 70 moving the boat in tight quarters is not always very easy, but with the jack it is a snap! I have it situated so I can take it off after loading the boat on the truck, and then when I return home I can easily re-attach it to maneuver the boat into the shelter I have for it.Sure glad I found you guys when I did!

The Trailer Valet offers a swivel function, so when you are traveling it will swivel up out of the way. Then you get to your destination, just release the pin and clip, and the trailer valet will swivel into position. The weight of the entire assembly is 45 pounds.

I purchased the Trailer Valet for my 17 ft. Aluminum fishing boat with a 115 hp 4 stroke.I'm 65 with a pacemaker, 3 back surgeries and a bad Rotator Cuff. I have to make a sharp 90 degree turn backing up to get my boat in the garage. The boat motor and trailer weigh 2500 lbs. There is a 5 percent grade into my garage.
Installation was simple and the directions were easy to follow.
Packaging was very good.
etrailer was great to order from and the price and free shipping were nice.
I was not expecting it to move my boat around like a motorized dolly that cost $1000.00 to $1500.00. I was surprised to find it did a very good job of moving my boat the way it did. I had no problem backing it in or pulling it out of my garage.
Low gear was much easier to use than high gear. The brake really works and the unit is put together well.
I do not plan to leave it on the trailer while towing. I left the Dolly that came with the trailer on it. I think if it was left on the trailer some one would remove it at the ramp while I was fishing.
My wife was amazed at how well the Trailer Valet moved our boat.
Great product and great sevice from etrailer.

Having tried a manual trailer dolly, I wasn't holding out much hope for this because my driveway is at a bit of an incline. However, this product moves my 6x12 enclosed trailer with ease!! The parking brake feature is awesome and I have zero complaints. Very well made product.

Unfortunately, the weld broke that holds the parking brake handle to the body luckily not while on an incline!. I was pretty upset about it, but their customer service was top notch and sent me a replacement asap. I notice the weld design had changed, so Im holding out that the updated one is better.

I have a 5x8 covered trailer filled with about 1,000 lbs of tools. My driveway is sloped, long, narrow and has a 90 degree upward turn at the end with little room for maneuvering. It was impossible to back the trailer in with my truck and too much of a slope to push it by hand. Motorized trailer dolly's are out of the question financially.
The Trailer Valet allows me to quickly back the trailer effortlessly precisely into position. The brake feature secures the trailer on the slope until I can apply the wheel chocks. Additionally, the next morning I can "drive" the trailer directly onto the hitch avoiding the "in and out" backup routine.
This is the real deal. Built solid, high quality materials and workmanship. Delivery was quick and ahead of schedule. Overall a great product and company to deal with.
Side note: One to always look for ways to make life easier, I rigged a square drive to my cordless 1/4" impact driver and viola, a motorized trailer dolly. Drives right in without cranking.

We are impressed and so far very satisfied with our 'trailer valet'. We were able to very easily/effortlessly reposition our tandem axle trailer with boat on it in our garage...no more possibly hurting
ourselves trying to push the boat around. We decided we will disconnect the trailer valet during travel as it adds a lot of weight and bulk to the trailer tongue. We purchased this mainly to help us move the boat around our garage. Will also be very helpful for hitching up from the garage. We highly recommend this product.
I did a lot of research on your web site as well as other
sites regarding possible products. We were very impressed
with the customer service and product knowledge of folks at
etrailer.com.

It uses a standard pipe mount, so pulling one pin is all it would take. The good news is, you don't have to take it off each time. You can pull the pin, rotate it 90 degrees to get it up and out of the way, then re-install the pin. Check out the video at the 00:55 mark.

The trailer mover works but with my 20' Tige is significantly harder to move than the video reviews I saw before ordering it. The tires didn't move well at all in dirt and gravel but that should be expected by looking at the tire tread. I definitely worked up a sweat moving my boat but this works so much better than just pushing the boat around on the flimsy wheeled jack stand that was on the trailer.

The STC-V211 Trailer Valet seems like a great solution to a common trailer problem. It moves my 3200 pound single axle trailer with ease, tongue weight on my trailer is approximately 500 pounds. A well built product with warranty and spare parts available. I inflated the tires to 70 PSI before using.
Each trailer and mounting scenario is different and this could limit the amount of available movement the tiller handle (steering) has on some setups before it contacts the hitch, propane tank, battery box, etc. This also affects the brake since the tiller handle is pushed down to apply the brake.
I think most of these concerns can be easily overcome with careful placement and usage of this product.
Enjoy,
Tom

I bought it on the 08dec and go it on 12 with free shipping .I thought it was very fast.i had a small problem with it,i called e-trailer and spoke to lexus. she asked for a pic of the issue .after her seeing the pic she put a replacement in the mail on the 16 got it on the 22 with a return shipping label.the new one work fine I can put my boat in the tight space it stays in.i think their customer service is excellent.thanks e-trailer.

Everything it was proclaimed to be. My issue prior to purchasing the Trailer Valet was the windshield of the boat was not low enough on my SUV hitch to fit the standard height garage opening. With the valet at its lowest it cleared the the entrance by a couple of inches so for those who have the same issue it saved me $900's in storage fees.
Additionally, the incline after exiting my garage is significant and at least more greater than the videos found as examples on the web. The Valet has no problem making its way to my hitch up this incline. I should mention i have a 21 foot Sea Ray that is right at the 500 lb limit.
An excellent purchase for me.

This unit works pretty well to move a trailer around on flat surfaces. It looks like it's pretty well made, and the finish looked good out of the box. The installation instructions are rather spartan, but it's not that difficult to mount so that wasn't a big deal. I think the weight capacities are a bit on the generous side, and the single wheel drive can lose traction on slight inclines if trying to turn at the same time. It's also pretty awkward to crank when bent over and steering at the same time, but it's doable. I think it will work much better with single axle trailers than double axles models.

This is an amazing product! Before I purchased this item I had a hard time getting my boat in the garage; now is so easy! Now I don't worry at all about asking someone to help me push the boat into the garage. I am so happy with the Trailer Valet Jack and my wife too. My garage has a 1 1/4 inch lip and the Trailer Valet has no problems pushing my Tahoe, 19.5' w/trailer in place. Thank you!!

I have a 16 ft outboard motor boat with trailer about 2500 lbs. The Trailer Valet attached easily. It handled my 5 degree slope driveway in and out with no problem. I fish in the California Delta, after 2 launches and loadings, the screws started to vibrate loose and noticed I lost a few and replaced them. After the third outing, screws, washers, nuts and chain started to rust. I rinse and lubricate the chain every time. This product is not recommended for boating, maybe for a land trailer only. Wish I can get my money back.

We have done our very best to prevent the Trailer Valet from rusting, which is why 95 percent of the device is powder coated, while the other 5 is chrome plated. However, after receiving several complaints from our customers about issues with corrosion, we realized that the chrome plating was not strong enough. So in our effort to constantly improve the quality of the device, all new Trailer Valets, starting 1/15/14, will still have the layer of powder coating, and the parts that are exposed e.g. screws, jack crank, high/low gear drive shafts will now be Zinc/Nickel Plated, which is much more resistant to corrosion.

Great service and delivery. Product is well made and is easy to install and works perfectly except for one small flaw. It drives my boat and trailer up my 5 degree driveway slope right up to my garage but wouldn't get it over the 1" lip at the entrance to the garage. The Trailer Valet wheels would just spin. I found a work-around by having my wife put downward pressure on the end of the trailer hitch while I cranked thereby giving the Trailer Valet just enough traction to get the boat/trailer over the lip and into the garage.

This is one of the best decisions I have made! It would normally take me one hour to back my 17 foot Casita travel trailer into a tight spot, it now takes less than 5 minutes!
It took less than 15 minutes to install, it is simply an amazing product, and had I bought this earlier, it would have saved me a lot of grief!

The trailer valet was easy to install and has allow me to be able to handle my boat trailer alone. Before it too 3 to 4 to get it up the small incline into the garage.
The only small problem is that the play in the connection between the moiunting bracket and the jack lets the jack set at a small angle to the trailer. I think this can be fixed by putting some shimes under the mounting bracket so that the jack sets straight up and down when under load.
Overall, very happy with the product.

I received a trailer valet in a very timely manner and it was very well packed with no damage. It was very easy to install. I put rubber tape between the parts that touch the aluminum on the trailer so there would be no corrosion. I mounted the mounting socket high on the trailer because I need to get the tongue as close to the ground as possible when entering the garage. Ive only used it a few times and so far it works good. I'll give another report in a few months to let you know how it holds up[.

This product is really an excellent solution. My 5.5'x10' aluminum trailer weighs about 1,500 lbs loaded... just enough to make it a struggle pulling out onto my slightly inclined driveway to hitch to my car. With the Trailer Valet, I can crank it out to the car with excellent ease and precision, and more importantly, can unhitch and then crank it up the driveway and into the garage. It is well made and works great. I am very pleased,

solved my problem. easily backed my trailmanor 2720 into a garage only 1 ft. wider than the tailor. my trailor weighs 3300lb. with a 340lb. tongue weight. make sure you check tire pressure before you use the trailer valet , proper tire pressure makes it easier. I am 67 yrs. old and weigh 140 lbs. If you need to reposition your trailor once you get it into a garage then this is what the doctor ordered.

Great Product.
This is the solution to moving my 22' boat with tandem axle around a tight space in the warehouse where it is stored. Also now I can move the boat to the truck and not take a chance in hitting anything with the boat or truck. Again a solution to a big problem that I had for a long time.
Money well spent in my opinion.
It also mounted to the trailer frame with no problems.

The product works good if utilized on a solid surface such as concrete. Tried using it on grass to move my bass boat and had mixed results. Not sure if its because I have a dual axle trailer, but it seems to struggle, especially when backing up.
Installation was simple, I did have to go buy shorter bolts for it since the frame on trailer wasn't very wide and I ran out of bolt threads.

If you need something to move your trailer with little effort, I think this is it. Very easy to install on the tongue. The size is a bit big to leave mounted but you can remove the unit and leave the bracket in place. It works just like the videos show. Now I don't have to find someone to help me push and pull the camper into its tight parking spot.

The first time I used it the snap ring came off of the wheel shaft. If I had not noticed it the wheel would have come completely off. I tried to find a replacement at 2 local hardware stores but no luck yet. Other than that so far it works OK.

I park a 22' C-Dory in a garage with 9 other boats, and they are tight. This should end the contact scratches and broken taillights. I probably will keep the trailer on a jack stand, rather than sit on the valet tires. Every year the big boat has been getting harder to push into storage. I can get more use from it and save my body.

I received my Trailer Valet today and promptly installed it on my boat trailer. It is a 16 1/2' Lund fishing boat with a single axle trailer. It moves the boat and trailer okay, but it will not get the boat and trailer over a 2" lip, even with wedges that I made. The single drive wheel just spins when I crank.

We have tested this with our 21 Ranger, and it usually works best when you approach the lip with more momentum.

Great item...wow!! We have a trailmanor that we need to store in a tight area in the garage. The Valet moved it with ease (2600 pnd). No pushing or cramped muscles involved...it's a silly small item but very powerful and heavyduty...stronger than any dolly and more affordable than a motorized trailer mover.

Had to make trip to hdwe store to get shorter bolts as supplied bolts way to long. Installed on a ranger boat trailer. Have used twice to move boat and well pleased so far. Sure takes the work out of getting boat out of building which was tough to do by my self. Thanks for a good product.

it works as advertised.I don't think I could have made the turn without it.this is really good for cramped, tight spaces and especially when you really have to work alone.just a suggestion, I think you should have more videos. for example on grass hills in on different products.

Very pleased. I was a little worried this wheel would not be able to maneuver my dual axle trailer in a tight turn, but it effortlessly pulls my 14 foot enclosed trailer around like it is floating on air, even when full of my toys. I couldn't be happier...unless it was free. :)

The product does the job it's designed for. How ever if you have a slope be sure it is consistent and that you have a solid foundation. If you are moveing a heavy trailer on grass or gravel the wheel wants to spin. Other than that it does what it's meant for

Easy to install! Works like it should, I can move my 18 foot boat easily in my garage to get it very close to the wall giving me more room. Also easy to pull my boat out to hookup. no more guessing.
Works Great !

The Trailer Valet Swivel Jack is awesome, works great and is just what I needed. Your customer service was also great and the delivery time was faster then I thought it would be. great Job to all.

The Fulton F2 Swing-Up Trailer Jack # F1413020134 that you referenced would certainly be capable of moving your trailer around as long as the tongue weight of your trailer does not exceed the 1,600 lb capacity of the jack. However, it would not be nearly as easy as using a Trailer Valet Swivel Jack and Trailer Mover # STC-V211. I believe I have something that would be ideal for you.
Since you are looking for an easy way to move your trailer in and out of your garage I think you might...view full answer...

On the Trailer Valet, # STC-V211, the top gear is the high gear and requires less effort to turn the handle but moves the wheels slower. The bottom gear is low gear, requires more effort to turn the handle, but moves the wheels faster.
If the tires are slipping then first go to high gear to move the wheels slower. Having more tongue weight would also help. This is similar to the idea of adding weight to the back of a truck in winter time to lessen the chance of the rear wheels sliding...view full answer...

We offer several types of trailer dollies in addition to the Rack-Em unit you referenced, part # RA20. This Rack-Em dolly has a 1-7/8-inch hitch ball, 13-inch tires and a tongue weight capacity of 500-lbs.
MaxxTow offers their # MT70225 with a 1-7/8-inch ball, 12-inch tires and a tongue weight capacity of 600-lbs.
Buffalo Tools offers a similar unit # BTTRDOLLY that also has a 1-7/8-inch ball, 10-inch tires and a 600-lb tongue weight capacity.

The installation bracket for the Trailer Valet # STC-V211 that you referenced takes up to 8 inches of space to mount on the trailer frame. If you have enough room to mount the unit, you should be fine being able to swivel it into position to travel because you should not have anything else extending over the side-rails of your trailer.
In the picture I have attached are the measurements from the actual # STC-V211 we have on site. From the bottom of the wheel to the top of the unit while...view full answer...

The Rackem trailer dolly, # RA20, would work well as long as the tongue weight of the trailer is something you would normally be able to handle by hand without the use of anything. If not then even though the dolly will make it easier, it may not be the best solution.
What I recommend is the Trailer valet, # STC-V211. It kind of works like a winch. Cranking the handle moves the trailer much easier than doing it by hand or using a dolly. I have included a link to a video that shows how...view full answer...

The dual 9 inch diameter wheels on the Trailer Valet, # STC-V211, will work well in grassy terrain. You can switch between a high and low gear for the best results on different terrain. The wheels on the jack are the only available size. Should the wheels need to be replaced Trailer Valet does offer them. I have included a video review for you to view.view full answer...

Trailer Valet Swivel Jack and Trailer Mover, part # STC-V211, uses a heavy-duty mounting bracket that can accommodate frame members up to 2-3/4 inches wide x 6 inches tall. Although your trailer frame is within this range, the I-beam construction prevents mounting the jack to the main side frame members.
To use the Trailer Valet you will have to mount it on the 3-inch tall tongue section forward of the A-portion of your trailer. Since the Trailer Valet swivels up out of the way when...view full answer...

There is no weight rating for the Mounting Bracket, part # TV-0002. It is designed to replace the bracket for the Trailer Valet Trailer Jack, part # STC-V211. The Trailer valet has a weight capacity of 500 lbs.
You may be able to install a different trailer jack in the bracket but since they do not test the bracket with any other manufacturer items, I cannot give you a weight capacity for the bracket or a guarantee it will work.
I pulled one of the # TV-0002 from our warehouse and...view full answer...

We have tested the Trailer Valet, # STC-V211, on a trailer but not on coarse gravel. However, I feel that it would fair well because the dual wheels provide a wide surface area and the wheels are not hard plastic so they can move over a little rougher terrain than your average jack wheel.
The bracket takes up 8 inches of real estate on the trailer frame. The unit has a capacity of 5,000 pounds but the further back on the frame it is the harder it will be to use the jack portion and maneuver...view full answer...

We have not had any complaints regarding the use of the trailer valet # STC-V211 on any specific brand of trailer. To determine fit you can measure the available space on your trailer. The mounting bracket on the trailer valet takes up 8 inches of space.
If this will not work, take a look at the Rackem trailer dolly, # RA20. It has a 500 pound tongue weight capacity and two 13 x 4 inch tires spaced 24 inches apart and would be a good alternative if the trailer valet will not fit.view full answer...

We have a Trailer Valet set up on a trailer outside so I went out to test it. You can remove the jack and valet part from the mounting bracket that attaches to the trailer. I had to jack it up using the Trailer Valet, slip under a jack stand, and lower the trailer on the jack stand. Then I just raised the jack a little, pulled the pin, and the whole unit can slide off.
In order to completely remove the Trailer Valet, # STC-V211, you would have to loosen and remove the 4 bolts that are...view full answer...

You should not have a problem moving your 4,000 pound trailer up a small incline using the Trailer Valet, # STC-V211. It has a 5,000 pound capacity and 500 pound tongue weight capacity.

I went out to the warehouse with the writer who wrote the description for the Trailer Valet, # STC-V211, to determine if our stock is the old or new version. I am happy to report that we have the new version. The manufacturer states the following changes:
The new Trailer Valets will still be powder coated, but all the parts that are exposed will be now be Zinc-Nickel Plated, a process known for its excellent resistance to corrosion. The quality of the Acme Screws on the device are greatly...view full answer...

You could probably move the boat and trailer if it was on level ground but up an incline would be difficult. The tongue weight of a boat trailer is normally lower compared to a utility trailer with the same gross trailer weight. This is because the rear of a boat is heavier than the front.
If the tongue weight of your boat does not exceed 500 pounds you could use the Trailer Valet, # STC-V211. This is a jack and trailer mover in one. It has two speeds for easy moving of the trailer....view full answer...

The jack and wheel part of the Trailer Valet # STC-V211 is held to the mount using a pin and clip. All you would do is remove the pin and clip, pull off the jack/wheel part of the unit, and pin it to the other mount, # TV-0002.view full answer...

All of the swivel trailer jacks that we carry that have wheels have plastic wheels with the exception of the Trailer Valet, # STC-V211. With this jack you also get a trailer mover. The jack has a tongue weight capacity of 500 pounds so if you need a higher capacity you would have to go with a model with a plastic wheel.

I can assure you that you will get the latest version of the Trailer Valet Swivel Jack and Trailer Mover # STC-V211 that comes with all of the upgrades you listed.

I spoke to my contact at Trailer Valet to get specifics on the tires supplied with Trailer Valet Swivel Jack and Trailer Mover, part # STC-V211.
The dual tires measure approximately 9 inches by 2-1/2 inches (this will vary slightly depending on tire pressure). The tires are tubed and are usually shipped with about 50 psi pressure. The typical working pressure range for these is 50 to 60 psi.

As you noted, the mounting bracket on the Trailer Valet Swivel Jack and Trailer Mover # STC-V211 requires 8 inches of space to mount. If the crossbeams on your trailer frame are roughly 5 inches apart, not including the width of the beams as shown in Image #1, it would be a very tight fit for the installation bracket.
Another consideration. Based on your photograph (image #1), it doesn't appear that you will have enough space to be able to swivel the trailer valet into travel position....view full answer...

I spoke with my contact at Trailer Valet and asked about the torque rating on the Trailer Valet Swivel Jack, part # STC-V211. They told me that they do not recommend using a power tool of any type on the jack for liability reasons, and would not provide the torque rating for the jack.
The gear ratio is 14 to 1 for the low gear. This means it takes 14 turns of the handle to move one tire rotation. For the high gear the ratio is 5 to 1.

As long as your trailer tongue weight is less than 500 lbs and the grade you plan on using the Trailer Valet Swivel Jack and Trailer Mover # STC-V211 isn't too steep you should be totally fine to use this product. We have several customers who used this product on heavier trailers like yours and reported back that it made easier work of moving their trailer than they expected. Some even compared this product to the more expensive units you mentioned.
Check out the review video I attached...view full answer...

Considering that boat trailers are typically light at the tongue end (most weight being at the rear where the motor is) the Trailer Valet # STC-V211 should be fine for your application. Since you will be using the Trailer Valet on a smooth level concrete surface with no grade, its 500-lb tongue weight capacity and two-speed hand-crank operation should be fine for making tight maneuvers.

I spoke with my contact at Trailer Valet and found that the Swivel Jack and Trailer Mover # STC-V211 has a ratio of 5 to 1 in high gear and 14 to 1 in low gear.
This means that it takes 5 turns of the handle for one revolution of the tire in high gear and 14 handle turns for one tire revolution in low gear.view full answer...

If the weight and pressure is too much for the jack then it may be too much for a person using a dolly as well. You could go with a higher capacity trailer jack. There are also some motorized trailer movers out there. If you can tell me what kind of weight we are talking about I can make some recommendations.

The further forward on a trailer the less weight there is. If at all possible, move the Trailer Valet, # STC-V211, as far forward as you can on either side. The OCD in me wants to say put it on the opposite side as the regular jack.
A boat trailer usually has lower tongue weight than a regular trailer because the motor on the back of the boat is weighing it down on that end. That should keep you within the tongue weight capacity of the Trailer Valet, which is 500 pounds.
